The lottery is just a tax on the poor.
And good morning honcos.

More like a tax on the mathematically illiterate. That skews to the poor but I have known plenty who weren’t poor who waste money foolishly on lotteries. A even bigger problem right now is that, in an effort to make people quit, taxes on tobacco have gone so high that cigarettes can consume as much as 25% of people’s income. Unintended consequences and all that.
